Brian Thomas Linnan of Delafield, formerly of Brookfield, found peace
Monday, Aug. 4, 2008, at age 49, after a year-long illness.

Brian was an avid sportsman, who loved to fish and hunt and was a proud

six great-nieces and -nephews.

He was preceded in death by his father, John (Jack) on Dec. 31, 1997.
